Leon's POV
***********

I could hear whispering of the masked people; it was as if we spoke in a different tounge.

A black fabric of sorts was draped over my cage; this cage gave me just enough room to kneel without having to lower my head.

I wore a pair of shorts and that was it. They wanted it this way so my tail could be seen. I was to face away from the crowd so they could have a good look at my cursed tail.

I was so caught up in my thoughts I didn't hear the auctioneer say my name.

"The Lion!" He yelled and my pupils dilated.

The black fabric was ripped away and the whispers turned to gasps. I turned my head to the side slightly and released a low growl.

This was my act; I showed off what I had. I found this easier than being beaten with a stick.

Prices were immediately yelled out and I closed my eyes. My tail thumped against the floor of the cage as I thought about who would win this time.

Sometimes I get the same owners; they pay to try and tame me, and if they can, they keep me.

"Sold!" His disgusting voice said.

I hated people; they were such foolish creatures.

I'm not human; I am a lion. I am much better than their prying hands. I won't lower myself to their level.

"Please come around back to collect you prize." The auctioneer said.

I am not an object to be won. I won't forget that.

I was wheeled away as the auction continued. My eyes glanced up as three people came into my view.

This is where my Freedom Begun.

Short; I know. But it's the first chapter so 'hey, what can a fellow do?'
